Abstract
Plane wave actuators without an enclosure per se have a forward and backward
radiation. The backward radiation is unwanted in many applications when a
single direction radiation is desired. To avoid the disadvantages of an
enclosure a system is proposed, which provides a high suppression of the
unwanted backward radiation using a pair of plane wave actuators. This is
achieved by adapted input signal filters. The influences of the second plane
wave actuator to the forward radiated signal are suppressed as well.
Additionally, the system also provides for- and backward radiation of
different signals with a high suppression of the radiation directions
crosstalk. The required power for the signal suppression depends on the
physical damping of the plane wave actuators and the space in between. The
first realized prototype is designed for flat panel dipole loudspeakers to
deal with the mentioned problems in the acoustic domain. The filter design
and a calibration algorithm for any given pairs of dipole loudspeaker are
explained. The good performance of the developed system is proven by
measurement results with the prototype system.
